Margot Herz, 98, of Palm Bay passed away November 7, 2023. Margot was born in Markt Berolzheim, Germany on July 22, 1925 to Lina and Max Levi. She was a Holocaust survivor, having fled Germany with her parents, brother, and grandparents in December of 1938 and moved to New York City.

Margot was a bookkeeper and later a business owner with her husband, Werner. They and their daughter and son moved to Titusville from New Jersey in 1963. Werner died in 2002, and Margot stayed in their home until 2016 when she moved to Palm Bay, where she and Lin bought a home together.

Margot and Werner always welcomed friends and relatives into their home. Margot never forgot a birthday or anniversary of a friend or relative. She was famous for sending cards, frequent letter writing and later keeping in touch with emails.

Margot was a loving, caring daughter, wife, and sister, and a devoted mother to the very end of her life. She was predeceased by her husband of 55 years, Werner, her beloved son, Ray, and dear brother Leo Levi. She is survived by her daughter, Lin Herz of Palm Bay, daughter-in-law Fran Herz of Jacksonville, and grand-dog, Simba.

Even thought I never met Margot, I felt that i knew her fairly well. We emailed each other almost daily for many years. We shared the love of our pekingese among other things. She was very kind and I do miss her emails and helpful information she gave me at times. She is truly missed.

Such a resilient survivor and lovely lady. I share her love of the Pekingese dogs. We visited Hot Springs, along with other Peke Pals, and had a delightful time.

Our deepest sympathies to all of you. After many years of being Facebook friends felt like I knew Margot through her daughter Lin. We share the same love of Pekingese. May she rest in peace. Sending love and hugs to Lin, Simba, and the rest of the Herz family. Susie, Majesky, and Bob Jones

I loved Margot and her love for people and especially dogs. She inspired me as I face some serious challenges as I age. She was a remarkable survivor and a wonderful mother to Ray and my friend, Lin. She is now at peace after such a long positive experience on this earth. Rest in peace my friend. I'm sure you have a beautiful Peke on your lap.
